I think it was made by a GAFfer?

Yep, beril.

 

[alr1ght]

of all the DRM that bother people (with any game not just rising), always online was the one that always baffles me. But then again I honestly dont remember the last time my computer wasnt online :/

It's more the problems with their servers. That and it's an inconvenience for paying customers.

 

[Rhaknar]

Its not always online anyways, its a overzealous bug with the Steamworks API

I know, I meant in general.

 

[Turfster]

I suspect the former. I've seen too many anime with ridiculous and sometimes offensive material for me to believe that manu people in their media industries know that the phrase "tone it down" exists.

Well, I just watched some of the JP versions of cutscenes (slightly spoilery, obv) I've just "played" through, and fuck the English script and the VO. The Japanese script is much more subdued and has less stupid bullshit.
The fact that Raiden doesn't sound like a petulant 5 year old with a smoking problem also helps a lot =p

 

[EmergentFocus]

So, I guess Toki Tori 2 didn't sell all that well?

Didn't they decide to launch TT2 on the first day of the Steam Summer Sale? Probably not the best idea. But whatever the reason, it's a shame to see things come to this.

Yeah. But it had -40% with the coupons you got directly at release.

Also ... you know ... racists.

 

[MRORANGE]

Maybe to counter Family Sharing dual play with Offline Mode, which all of you motherfuckers abuse?

It could be removed later, when new sales aren't as crucial as on the first month after a game's release.

I always wanted to know the numbers on who uses family share and the statistics, haven't seen any stuff posted by Valve, unless it slipped under my nose.

 

[firehawk12]

Wait what? What does this application do exactly? How does it unlock cards?

Tells Steam you're playing something so it will give you card drops, along with unlocking achievements if you're into that.

Yeah. I'm no Jase, but I have enough games where I could probably spend forever just getting cards. Too bad that it only works for games with achievements though.

 

[Sendou]

Also ... you know ... racists.

Racists?

 

[Rhaknar]

wait Rising has japanese voices?

 

[EmergentFocus]

Also ... you know ... racists.

?

 

[Turfster]

wait Rising has japanese voices?

Sadly, no.
It has Japanese subtitles tho, for a much better script =p

Edit: Who do I know that has a PS3 copy of the Japanese MGR and a bluray drive...
Also, the gamedata\Movie dir is 21.3 gigs, for the cutscene events...

 

[nexen]

those racists.

 

[toddhunter]

After hearing high praise I tried to play TT2...twice. There just isn't any fun to be had.

 

[EmergentFocus]

those racists.

Ah, okay. Whooooooosh! *turns in GAF badge*

 

[nexen]

Ah, okay. Whooooooosh! *turns in GAF badge*

If I ever release an indie game I'm going to have to find a way to associate any negative criticism with racism. Such brilliant marketing.

 

[Faabulous]

edit : so apparently MGR:R requires you to have an internet connection to run? Oh this is NOT going to end well. I guess there is no error message, just flashes black and CTD. ruh roh

edit 2 : oops...already a thread : http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=748925

Maybe they fix it, maybe they don't.
That folks, is why you don't pre-order.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Nevermind, you guys are right. Outside SteamGAF is a terrifyingly awful place. That MGR:R DRM thread is a nightmare

of all the DRM that bother people (with any game not just rising), always online was the one that always baffles me. But then again I honestly dont remember the last time my computer wasnt online :/

It depends on how deep they go with it. Especially with Steam being so flaky lately, I don't want a whole bunch of CTDs and not be able to play because some shitwad decided to DDoS steam.

 

[dark_inferno]

Maybe they fix it, maybe they don't.

And of course Steam Sales.

Edit: Thanks Krusenstern for Castlevania.

Don't venture outside Boss, stay where its safe and rational.

 

[RionaaM]

Lucky you. Last year I've been through a couple of months where my connection dropped for 15 minutes every two hours or so. Then it'd be off during the night. Then it would work well for a couple of days, only to be completely dead for the next ones.

It's been working fine since then, but I wouldn't count on that. So yeah, always online is, for me, one of the worst DRM schemes ever, along with limited installs.

 

[MMBosstones86]

I regret nothing

You just can't reason with some people. Something 'unconfirmed' happens and all of a sudden Konami is the devil reincarnate. smh

I really liked it on 3DS. Didn't know the Steam version was equally priced, that's very nice and may mean I could pick it up someday.

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the issue. Always online requires two things to function, your internet and the servers on the other end.

Yes your internet might always be functional, but if the company on the other end drops off or shuts down the service, your game no longer works (the real issue).

People should be quite rightly bothered by purchasing games with an expiry date.

 

[Durante]

Did you see the Consortium thread?

It got better though. Still, the game deserves better than the philistines on the first page.

 

[The_Monk]

You just can't reason with some people. Something 'unconfirmed' happens and all of a sudden Konami is the devil reincarnate. smh

As some who like both console and PC gaming (but PC gaming is my platform of choice) I can see that many people are just missing proper information, above everything else. Add that with the option to just downplay everything with a negative tone, a random .gif or a "funny" reply and there it goes all the things you could hope for a proper discussion. Some people are just like that. Just focus on what matters.

 

[Faabulous]

Welp, I definitely can't buy MGR now. At least until they fix it. If random disconnects yank you from the game, it will be unplayable on my connection, such is life on a 3rd world country.

 

[Turfster]

It got better though. Still, the game deserves better than the philistines on the first page.

True, it seems to have recovered, but man... That first page was rough.

Also, seems the "events" have the English VO muxed into the usm, so an undub of MGR would be 22 gigs... Sigh.

 

[Tenrius]

Where are you from, then?

 

[Faabulous]

Where are you from, then?

Brazil. I have a pretty decent 30 Megabits connection, but it's still really unstable.

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

when I go to steam through firefox, it is in polish or a similar language. any idea how to get it back to english?

 

[CecilRousso]

of all the DRM that bother people (with any game not just rising), always online was the one that always baffles me. But then again I honestly dont remember the last time my computer wasnt online :/

Always online DRM bothers me for the simple reason that it's stupid and shouldn't be there. It's only a source of problems for paying customers. Developers who implement it are developers who cares to little about the customers for me to want to give them any money. Any.

It's as simple as that.

Lets hope Konami cares enough to fix this.

You laughed? Okay well then... i thought they were serious about the story. I might need to replay it.

Yeah, it's cheesy as hell. Like almost any Platinum game.

It's cheesy as hell, like any Metal Gear game could also be true. Except people actually take those seriously, so you never know.

youre right. Having Diablo 3 flashbacks now.

GAF I predict that this coming PAX 2014

Spoiler

Darkwing Duck Remastered will be announced

It makes steam think you're running the game -> idling.

lol I'm such a noob, I always assumed that when people said they were idling they were just turning a game on and walking away from their PC

Steam-GAF's tranny surprise moment.

This is also a thing. Or at least running a game and heading back to desktop.

 

[RionaaM]

I just tried the first VR mission of MGR, and it runs fine at 1920x1080 on my PC, with 2x AA and 4x AF. Hopefully the main game will run fine too, but I won't know until I try it.

I really liked this game on iOS, but my attention span with mobile games is quite low. Was really stoked to find out it was green-lit. Will buy soon!
